why....???????

Why are we lonely when sad..?
Why cant we hit back when things go bad..?
Why do we love what we cant get..?
Why do we remember what others forget..?

Why can't we sleep when we are most tired..?
Why can't we rebel when required..?
Why can't we hug when we love so much..?
Why can't we dream with a tender touch..?

Why do we live when we have to die..?
Why does love make us cry..?
Why doesn't the phone ring when we want it to..?
Why do we love all things new..?

Why cant we answer when we know everything..?
Why are we quiet when the heart wants to sing..?
Why do we sleep when we have miles to cover..?
Why always becomes NEVER...?

Every why has a "because"
Then why ask with such a pause
When mind wanders in an unknown space
Let nature guide and we follow the pace
